Graduate programs at Indiana University in library and information studies, business, education, the humanities, law, medicine, nursing and social sciences have been recognized by U.S. News and World Report in its annual rankings.

An international team of scientists led by Liang-shi Li at Indiana University have engineered the world's most efficient molecule to convert carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide with light or electricity. The discovery is an important leap forward in the quest to cheaply and efficiently create carbon neutral fuels from air and store sunlight as energy.

A study by Indiana University researchers has identified 24 compounds -- including caffeine -- with the potential to boost an enzyme in the brain shown to protect against dementia. The research appeared March 7 in the journal Scientific Reports.

By March 22, Venus will set 30 minutes after the sun and then rise 33 minutes before the sun the next morning. You may be able to see Venus as both the "Morning Star" before sunrise and the "Evening Star" after sunset on the same day!

A study by scientists at Indiana University has found that the master gene that regulates these differences plays a complex role in matching the right physical trait to the right sex.
